Maamla Legal Hai Season 2 OTT Release Update: When and where to expect return of Ravi Kishan's hit show
Maamla Legal Hai Season 2 OTT Release Update: Get ready to head back to Patparganj District Court as the quirkiest courtroom in the country is opening its doors again! Maamla Legal Hai is officially returning for Season 2, and yes, our favourite 'law ke side effects' squad is reporting back for duty. If you loved Season 1, then brace yourself, the next round of legal madness is already in the works. What was Maamla Legal Hai Season 1 all about? When Maamla Legal Hai dropped on Netflix earlier in 2024, no one expected a courtroom comedy set in a local district court to become such a breakout hit. But it did. With its refreshing mix of legal satire, heartfelt characters, and everyday desi humour, the show hit the sweet spot between serious and silly. Set in the dusty corridors of Patparganj District Court, Season 1 followed the misadventures of a group of underpaid, overworked, and hopelessly eccentric lawyers. At the heart of it all was VD Tyagi (played to perfection by Ravi Kishan), the veteran advocate who acts like he's fighting for the Supreme Court but is usually just handling marriage disputes, stray cow complaints, or missing laddoos. When is Maamla Legal Hai Season 2 coming? Here's the legal update you've been waiting for: Season 2 has started filming! So yes, it's officially happening. While Netflix hasn't confirmed a release date just yet, going by the production cycle and the early filming announcement, we can expect Maamla Legal Hai Season 2 to hit the platform sometime in mid to late 2025. Till then, dust off your black coat, polish that gavel, and stay ready. What to expect this time around? Season 2 promises more legal dis-order than ever. And the best part? We've got new faces entering the courtroom. The heart of Maamla Legal Hai is its cast. Leading the charge once again is Ravi Kishan as Advocate VD Tyagi. Also returning: Naila Grewal as Ananya, the no-nonsense intern who's still figuring out why she took this job. Nidhi Bisht as Sujata, the fiery and ambitious lawyer whose courtroom energy can light up the whole building. Anant Joshi as Vishwas, who still hasn't cracked his first real case but has plenty of conspiracy theories. Joining the madness in Season 2 are two very exciting names: Dinesh Lal Yadav aka Nirahua, the Bhojpuri superstar known for his perfect comic timing. He's set to bring some serious masala to the legal crew. Kusha Kapila, the internet's favourite sass queen, steps into the courtroom with her signature spark. Directed by Rahul Pandey and created by Sameer Saxena (of TVF Tripling and Yeh Meri Family fame), the show continues to blend OTT realism with sitcom-style laughter.

New Delhi: In a grand ceremony held at Rashtrapati Bhavan, President Droupadi Murmu on Tuesday conferred Padma Awards to 68 individuals who have made exceptional contributions in diverse fields such as art, literature, education, public affairs, medicine, social work, science, sports, and industry. The event, attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, and other dignitaries, marked the second phase of the Padma Awards ceremony for the year 2025. The Padma Awards, among the highest civilian honours of India, are conferred in three categories: Padma Vibhushan, Padma Bhushan, and Padma Shri. This year, the government had announced a total of 139 Padma awardees on the eve of Republic Day. Among those honoured in this phase were 3 Padma Vibhushan, 9 Padma Bhushan, and 56 Padma Shri awardees. The ceremony held special significance with 13 posthumous recognitions, honouring legends who left a lasting legacy in their fields. One of the most emotional moments of the event was the posthumous conferral of the Padma Vibhushan to late Bhojpuri and folk singer Dr Sharda Sinha, whose music resonated deeply with the Indian heartland. Her son, Anshuman Sinha, received the award on behalf of the legendary folk singer renowned for her devotional and Chhath songs.

Prominent names include playback singer Arijit Singh, cricketer R. Ashwin, author Pratibha Satpathy, former SBI Chairperson Arundhati Bhattacharya, and violinist Tejendra Narayan Majumdar. The list also included foreign nationals, NRIs, PIOs, and OCIs—ten in total—reflecting India's acknowledgement of global contributions.

This year's ceremony reaffirms the spirit of "nation first, people first", with awardees reflecting India's cultural, scientific, and humanitarian diversity. The government's efforts to democratise the Padma Awards have made them a true people's honour, celebrating not just fame, but meaningful service.
